Other actors who have hit the charts include Bruce Willis, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Winslet and David Hasselhoff - who is currently at number ten in the UK singles chart with a cover of the rock song, 'Jump In My Car'.

Perhaps the most bizarre - yet critically lauded - attempts to take the music charts by storm came from 'Star Trek' actor William Shatner - who teamed up with Ben Folds for a cover of the classic Pulp track, 'Common People' - and Leonard Nimoy, whose infamous 'Bilbo Baggins' became a cult hit.
